I highly recommend this amazing Salkantay trek! We had a great time – the guide was knowledgeable and friendly, the food was way above my expectations, and I felt safe the whole time, thus was able to enjoy every rock, every tree, and, of course, every Inca ruin! The places we went to were beautiful and the guide was very flexible to do more of less according to what we as a group wanted or could do.
The company salkantay.org was also very communicative, so we knew what we were getting into and they were very open to answering any questions before the trip via email and even a live chat! The group was very diverse and we got to meet people from all around the world, while maintaining the intimate taste of Peru. I will warn, it was a tough trail, covering around 80 kilometers on foot, so do prepare accordingly with proper shoes and in good physical shape, but it is so rewarding when you look back at what you´ve accomplished and seen!
This trail is way better than the Inca Trail because it is more secluded and you get breathtaking views without the millions of tourists, and it´s an accomplishment you can totally brag about! Thank you Salkantay.org – Peru!!
